How to appreciate McBride's Running Horse

This painting is 182 1 year, the famous French painter Gregory painted "Horse Racing in Epsom" in19th century. In fact, when we appreciate a painting, we don't think about the real truth at all. As long as this painting is consistent with the facts we imagined and the climax we expected, we will naturally believe that what this painting shows is true, so we will not delve into it.

Let's go back to the topic of horse racing. After the invention of photography in 1839, photographer McBride took such a set of photos to show the galloping horse in 1872. Until then, we really found that when the horse runs, it is such a process. There is hardly a moment when the horse's hoof is completely volleyed. The only moment when the hoof is volleyed, the horse's four legs are closed.

When we use photos to represent running horses, we can never get the picture that all horses are in step and their hooves are scattered in the air. We should be able to understand that in quite a few paintings, the painter will choose to paint the posture of the horse more desirable than we think, although that is not correct. In other words, art shows the truth we expect in our hearts, not the real facts. To some extent, the truth we expect in our hearts is more important.
